Lighthouse Preschool

Lighthouse school employs a developmental based, child-centered approach to early childhood education. Our Mission is to provide a warm and encouraging atmosphere that enhances self-concept, instills basic moral values, encourages social interaction, and enriches awareness of the natural and cultural world. Our curriculum is a dynamic, interactive experience that builds on the interests of young children and influences them in developmentally appropriate ways. It addresses the physical, socio-emotional, cognitive, language/communication, and self-help skills of children to help spark curiosity and develop there sense of wonder. Anything and everything that happens during the day, planned or unplanned, is a part of our curriculum. Our plan is to motivate learning and be responsive to our children.

Children here have a classroom environment that encourages and accepts the student’s autonomy,and varied interests. Lighthouse school understands that we must address the development of the whole child in these early years of life.

Tiny Learners (18 months - 2.5 years)

Our nurturing teachers are aware that they are in a unique position to help young children learn to trust others and develop secure attachments with the important people in their lives. Our curriculum for this age group helps build relationships with children by showing how to create meaningful daily routines and experiences that respond to individual children's strengths and interests.

This age group thrives on new experiences, and we fulfill this need by providing care, directions, and projects that allow them to explore the world without stress or pressure. We aim to work with each child as an individual and ensure that each day is a fun-filled adventure.

Almost there ( 2.5 - 4 year old)

Our Intermediate program sets the stage for children's success in school and in life. Our staff provides ongoing efforts to value children as individuals and embrace their unique contributions to the classroom community, which will inspire in them a love of learning to last a lifetime. We believe that children learn best when they are actively involved with materials and peers. That is why we place so much emphasis on setting up the proper learning environment and building positive, meaningful relationships with children and their families. We all play together, cooperate, and share.
